Fight Square Enix's CEO in Nier: Automata when the first DLC releases on May 2

Update April 24, 2017: we now know the Western release date of Nier: Automata's first DLC. It's the same as the Japanese one.

Acclaimed JRPG Nier: Automata is getting its first injection of DLC in a little over a week. Snappily titled ‘3C3C1D119440927’, and thus self-condemned to be better-known as ‘the bunch of stupid digits DLC’, it’ll be available through Steam on May 2.

Original story April 17, 2017: Nier: Automata’s upcoming DLC has been shown off in a Japanese livestream. Accessible via in-game NPCs who guard locked elevators, the DLC transports players to an all-new combat arena where fresh threats reside.

Just what are those new threats? Well, the ones who have been shown are Yosuke Matsuda, CEO of Square Enix, and PlatinumGames president, Kenichi Sato. Each of them descends from the sky and fires out projectiles of their own faces. Yes.

What’s the point of all this? Well, there’s a Nier-inspired outfit for 2B, 9S, and A2 to unlock and wear. 2B’s is based on Kaine’s outfit from the original Neir, so she’s running around with her entire arse out now. Yes.
